KETTERING —The idea is to deliver a “holiday in a box.”
“Hanukkah is the festival of light, and we’re trying to bring light into our seniors’ homes,” says Deva Zwelling, assistant executive vice president of the Jewish Federation of Greater Dayton. “The older people get, the harder it may be for them to get out to our communal activities. We want to keep them connected, so we bring the holiday to them.”
The festive eight-day holiday, which begins tonight, Dec. 11, at sundown with the lighting of the menorah, celebrates religious freedom. An additional candle is lit each night until all eight are burning.
